Murray Falls In Montreal

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA (AUGUST 8, 2013) (TPL/IMG) - Andy Murray suffered his first defeat in nearly three months on Thursday (August 8) when he was beaten by Latvia's Ernests Gulbis in the third round of the Rogers Cup.

Playing just his second match since winning Wimbledon, Murray fell 6-4 6-3 in less than an hour and a half in one of the key lead-up events to the U.S. Open.

The 24-year-old Gulbis, ranked 38th in the world, produced some breathtaking shot making and deft touches while Murray struggled to produce his best on the Montreal hardcourts.
